Linfox Vision Zero demonstrates the entire company’s commitment to safety, sustainability, and the well-being of communities. It is about zero deaths, injuries, vehicle incidents, environmental emissions, and unsafe behaviours.
Since its 2006 launch, Linfox Vision Zero has achieved a 90% reduction in Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR). This initiative further re-emphasises Linfox’s pledge to road safety, environmentalism, and mental wellness for its employees.
The Foundations of Linfox Vision Zero
In fact, Linfox launched Linfox Vision Zero as a comprehensive plan against all the dangers that beset the logistics sector in every age and moment.
Linfox includes difficult safety issues such as fleet accidents, injuries at work, and environmental consequences.
Zero Fatalities and Injuries
Vision Zero advocates for the highest safety standards for employees and communities, including reducing workplace and road fatalities, providing safety training, implementing vehicle monitoring technologies, and establishing appropriate incident response protocols.
Zero Motor Vehicle Incidents
Linfox implemented the latest fleet management systems to achieve effective driving performance monitoring along strict vehicle safety standards, thereby minimising accidents and downtime in operations.
Zero Net Environmental Emissions
Vision Zero brings sustainability. For this reason, Linfox has developed renewables, fuel-efficient vehicles, and waste-reduction strategies with minimal environmental impact.

Linfox Vision Zero: Transforming Workplace Metrics and Road Safety
Linfox has made fantastic progress in improving workplace safety, which proves how eye-catching the effectiveness of the Vision Zero strategy can be.
With safety metrics such as Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR), Linfox shows a commitment to employees and operational safety.
Understanding LTIFR and TRIFR
LTIFR calculates the University’s first time, emphasising a specific period and enhancing fleet safety by measuring incidents against total employee working hours. Since Vision Zero’s inception in 2006, Linfox has reduced LTIFR by over 90%.
Similarly, TRIFR tracks all recordable injuries and illnesses, offering insights into the broader safety industry. For FY20-21, the rolling 12-month TRIFR for Australia and New Zealand reached an all-time low of 8.4—less than half the rate of Linfox’s 6.
Thus, Linfox protects its employees, which, not least, helps to contribute to safer communities. Vision Zero takes that pledge even further as an initiative: fleet configuration makes every journey as secure as possible.
Industry-Wide Challenges in Road Safety
Road safety has been a big issue for the industry, as shown by data provided by Monash University.
For transport workers in Australia, there have been over 120,742 compensation claims over the last 12 years for injuries sustained from work, two-thirds of which have recorded 22,317 years of lost working time and 545 deaths.
The surprising company’s 17 % of lost time stemmed from vehicle crashes; musculoskeletal injuries and psychological stress accounted for the rest. This highlights the industry’s multifaceted safety challenges.
Linfox Vision Zero: Pioneering Safer Communities
Linfox dreams far away into a better world whose vision is to create safe roads and communities beyond the workplace.
By shifting the metrics to reflect safety through behaviour and establishing standards from the metrics to road practice, Linfox sets an extraordinary benchmark. This highlights the industry’s multifaceted safety challenges.
